I think Dems were jumping on the Obama bandwagon so quickly at that point that nothing short of a major scandal was going to be able to stop the surge. Hillary's "win" at that debate certainly wasn't lopsided enough to do the trick.

That being said, it's back to square one once the nomination is locked up. Obama will have a lot of work to do, especially since I can't see the Clinton's giving him much in the way of support.

I mentioned this on another thread, but as a reporter covering this, I am astounded by the Epic Fail demonstrated by the Clinton campaign's media relations people over the past two weeks. I've had more cooperation from people who didn't want media anywhere near what they were doing.

Anyone catch Crazy Bill Cunningham's psychotic (I know, redundant) rant/introduction of McCain today, during which he called Obama everything short of a Muslim-lovin-Negro? (Maybe he said that too, I might have missed it.) Great show, as McCain supporters stood slack-jawed behind Cunningham on the stage, their McCain signs sagging slowly with every hateful epithet.

McCain then had to apologize for his own supporter, whereupon Cunningham took to his radio show to slam McCain.

If anyone has a clip (CNN had it earlier), it's Must-See-TV.

I saw it, and couldn't believe it.

And, so long as it doesn't happen again, I will applaud Senator McCain for distancing himself from this bozo.
